'Janggeum Connection' is a term combining 'Jang' (場), meaning market, and 'Geum' (金), meaning financial institution. It is a project jointly promoted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Financial Supervisory Service to improve the financial environment for traditional market merchants.

In June, BNK Gyeongnam Bank conducted voice phishing prevention activities and provided customized financial services at Geoje Gohyeon Market (July), Yangsan Nambu Market (August), and Jinju Jungang Market (September) under the 'Janggeum Connection' established by BNK Financial Group with local traditional markets.

Following the expansion of the Visiting Janggeum Mobile Branch Event, employees from the Financial Consumer Protection Department visited Masan Fish Market on the 21st to distribute pamphlets on preventing financial fraud to merchants.

On the same day, employees from Geoje Gohyeon Branch, Yangsan Financial Center, and Jinju Jungang Branch visited Geoje Gohyeon Market, Yangsan Nambu Market, and Jinju Jungang Market respectively to deliver precautions regarding financial fraud prevention.

Kim Yang-sook, Executive Director and Chief Consumer Officer (CCO) in charge of financial consumer protection, stated, “We decided to expand the event to revisit the traditional markets where the Visiting Janggeum Mobile Branch was held and to convey voice phishing prevention methods to more merchants. Going forward, BNK Gyeongnam Bank plans to continuously conduct promotional activities to prevent financial fraud targeting vulnerable financial groups and traditional market merchants in the region.”
